the sores are not cankers or fever or anything, however when flossing the back molars, not something I do lots but when foods stuck back there it causes the inside part of the flesh of the gums to become painfull and I can feel a bump there.

This is only ever caused by flossing and no I'm not doing it improperly, and I can't find info on it. the only info on gums is for people w/ith like gingavitus or cankers or herpe's in the mouth it's causing gum irritation in the spot and tooth tenderness and sever pain when chewing and biting down.

Yes I am sure it's from flossing.

Increased sensitivity to food particles between your teeth, and your teeth and gums, can be a sign of gum disease. Irritation after flossing can be a sign of gum disease too. You need to see a dentist and speak with them about this.

I'm just wondering why you don't floss ALL your teeth regularly to prevent gum disease. My suggestion would be to see your dentist. It's possible you have an abcess back there if you have a bump. Good luck with it feline.

I did floss other teeth it's just the back molars that are in pain now:( I can't eat either cause chewing is painfull. I'm in limbo I don't have a dentist. I'm trying to find one who takes my medical insurance though.
